"My students love the very visual new dashboards. They especially enjoy watching the numbers roll upward to their current Lexile each time they open the program. They wait with anticipation to see where it will land.

"We set quarterly goals, and the dashboard now allows students to quickly and visually track their overall growth each time they log in."

Laura Distelrath English Teacher St. Clair High School

Learner-centered approach empowers students to reach high standards for reading growth

Students need a meaningful way to set reading goals and measure progress, so they can see the connection between the efforts they make today and having the skills they will need in the future.

Total Reader's interactive dashboard uses a learner-centered approach to help students take responsibility for setting and reaching goals. Students can easily:

choose a short passage on a high-interest fiction or non-fiction topic

instantly receive feedback after completing each passage

view their progress on an interactive dashboard that helps keep them on track toward their reading goals

The Lexile® Framework for Reading is used to set goals and monitor progress. Passages are always at the best level for reading growth to help students gain awareness of the effectiveness of their reading practice.
